Family (Week 9)

Sometimes, I regret to be reckless, merciless, and ignorant. Sometimes, I forgot how much my parents sacrificed for me. I forgot how much they did for me. I forgot how did I become such an ungrateful girl. I was born in Taipei. We moved to Taoyuan since it was closer to the international airport. Then we moved to Hsinchu. We didn't have to move in the first place if it wasn't for my brother and me. In order to access education, we bought a house and moved. I didn't realize that buying a house was an arduous task by then. Most of my schoolmates around me told me that their parents rent a house, instead of buying. My dad's company used to be across my house. However, he had to endure the freeways. I realize how much I love my family whenever they cast me a look of expectation when they ask me if I have time to have a family trip. I feel that I'm an awful daughter. My parents always bolster and support my decisions. They never reproach my own decisions, even though I may be reckless. They make me feel loved. I see my better self in the eyes of those who love me, making me want to be a better person.
